  • Resumen

  • While Boerne is the county seat established in 1849, Kendall County was created 13 years later. But Boerne was not the first settlement in the area…those bragging rights belong to Sisterdale. The story of our sister city right after this.

    Sisterdale was first settled in 1847 when Nicolaus Zink built his cabin in the valley of Sister Creek. It was Comal County then. Zink was a former Bavarian army officer and a civil engineer. He built a fort and laid out the town of New Braunfels, in fact, Zink Street is right above Stinky Falls. Sisterdale was one of the Latin settlements, more free thinkers, also known as Forty-Eighters, fleeing the German State Revolutions of 1848. Other original pioneers in Sisterdale include Fritz and Betty Holekamp, August Siemering, who later founded the San Antonio Express News, and Edgar von Westphalen, whose brother-in-law was Karl Marx.
